COMMENTS: This is a pretty important start for Padilla--not the point of no return, but still critical if he wants to be considered for the postseason roster--as he looks to rebound from his last crappy start against the Giants, his first loss since joining the Dodgers. And while Padilla/Martin sounds like a normal battery, this Padilla/Martin matchup is quite different. Montreal starts a pitcher whom mlb.com says "is...the second best pitcher in the Expos' rotation. Last Friday, he pitched 5 1/3 innings and gave up two runs on seven hits against the Mets. Martin is second on the team in wins with five."

FIVE? Five measly wins gets you second place and a set of steak knives?Let me be the one to tell you, when you only have 52 total wins on the team, it's mathematically plausible, but I wouldn't go around trumpeting a win total smaller than that of Jeff Weaver; Martin would be the Expos' equivalent of Matt Cain, Adam Wainwright, and Cliff Lee. Wow. Tell you what, Torre, let's just make this interesting, and throw out there whomever the hell you want for this lineup!

ahh Montreal - my dad and I caught the boys up there in 2003 and I got a foul ball hit by Jolbert Cabrera. This was because there was nobody in the entire field level behind us, just the lower half of the field level.

Later that day (it was an afternoon game) we saw Cabrera, Cesar Isturis and Adrian Beltre anonymously riding the train and then hitting on a girl at a restaurant

Have we sufficiently made fun of this Dodgers fantasy cruise with Steve Garvey yet? I just another email advert about it. Otherwise known as the Cougar Cruise. Seems like a bad idea from the outset, given those dynamics.

Okay, I've got to say something. What the hell happened to Furcal? His stats are so incredibly freakish, it's not even funny. Other than right now, the only month he has put up these numbers was July. The other four months were shit.

hi karina! we got off to a good start with a 3R homer by Matty, then Padilla gave up some runs to make it 4-3, then we loaded the bases and scored a run on a sac fly, now Vicente is playing with danger again (2 2-out walks)

Rbnlaw, unfortunately on my local newspaper, Tron made it to the gossip section and it looks like his heart is broken by the runner up at this year's Miss Universe.

If that news broke in Venezuela, it should be mediatic mayhem in Dominican Republic. She was super cruel, she said she dumped him after 3 years because she doesn't have time for him anymore. Isn't it ruthless cruelty?

How i found out? my mother asked me if i knew a ballplayer by the name of Ramon Troncoso, while i was reading the sports section, after the baseball news. I just had to ask her why she was asking, i'd wish i hadn't :(
